What are Trigger Point Injections?
We offer Trigger Point Injections as part of our comprehensive approach to managing chronic pain. Trigger points are small, localized knots or areas of muscle spasm that can cause pain and discomfort. Trigger Point Injections involve the injection of a local anesthetic and sometimes a corticosteroid medication directly into these trigger points to alleviate pain and promote muscle relaxation.
-
For individuals experiencing pain and tension due to trigger points, these injections can offer significant relief and improve mobility.
-
Whether you're dealing with tension headaches, myofascial pain syndrome, or other conditions involving trigger points, our team is here to help you find relief and regain control of your life.
